So where do I begin.....Let's start with OJ. This guy should have moved out of the country as soon as he got acquitted 12 years ago. I'm just amazed that this guy is still around. And the messed up part is HE JUST GOT OUT ON BAIL. And guess who was there....Marcia Clark. For those of you who don't know Marcia Clark was one of the district attorneys who assigned to the OJ murder trial. Talk about grudges....Seriously doesn't this woman have anything else better to do than to follow the Juice around. I bet she was just WAITING for the day that he'd fuck up. OJ is gonna go to jail this time and if that's what we need in order for Barack Obama to have a chance at becoming president then so be it.
And while we're on the topic of Barack Obama....What the hell is wrong with Jesse Jackson???? I thought he endorsed Barack Obama, so what's with this whole Obama needs to stop acting white bit??? Of course he's back tracked (in record time), but the story is already out there. Now how did this all get started??? Well, Jesse has a new cause y'all...Some of you may have heard of the Jena 6. The NY Times wrote an interesting article about this case click here for the link to the story. Apparently Jesse seems to think that Obama needs to speak up about his case and make it a campaign issue.
To quote Dennis Miller but I don't mean to get off on a rant here but.....Who the fuck is Jesse Jackson to tell Barack Obama what he should talk about. Yes the case of the Jena 6 is a civil rights atrocity, and yes this is a case that deserves national attention. That being said Barack Obama does not need to make this case a CAMPAIGN ISSUE. It's enough that he's finally convinced White America that he can be taken seriously and he's actually got a chance. And for the record Obama made a statement Friday after one of the teen's charges was thrown out, saying, "I am pleased that the Louisiana state appeals court recognized that the aggravated battery charge brought in this case was inappropriate."
"I hope that today's decision will lead the prosecutor to reconsider the excessive charges brought against all the teenagers in this case," he added. "And I hope that the judicial process will move deliberately to ensure that all of the defendants will receive a fair trial and equal justice under the law."
Where's Hillary's statement? Why isn't Jesse asking for that? See the problem is that Jesse wants Obama to fall into the trap of running as the black candidate and Obama ain't having it. And for the record Obama's camp is right, that was the problem when Jesse ran in '84 and in '88. If he's to win the nomination he has to run as the candidate that just happens to be black and not the black candidate. That's the problem with some of our leaders they're like crabs in a barrel. Shame on Jesse for using this case to suck Obama into a racial quagmire. Please don't get me wrong the Jena 6 case is a very important case but it not not worthy of being something that should come up as a topic of discussion during a presidential campaign. There are more broader topics like Health Care, the war in Iraq and Education, that must be discussed first before we go into how small towns in America are still backward and racist. Yeah I said it. If you think Jena, LA is the only town in America that has a problem like this you're sadly mistaken.
And on a totally unrelated note....I just want to give a big shout out to Dan Rather. Get yo money playa.
